Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Transmitter for CDM Based 2×2 Multiple Input Multiple Output Channel Sounder for Multipath Delay MeasurementM. Habib Ullah, M. T. Islam, Mandeep Sing et al.Problem statement: Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless communication system is an innovative solution to improve the bandwidth efficiency by exploiting multipath-richness of the propagation environment. The degree of multipath-richness of the channel will determine the capacity gain attainable by MIMO deployment. Approach: Therefore, it is very important to have accurate knowledge of the propagation environment/radio channel before MIMO implement. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2011 · 7,903 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeveloping a Computer Program for the Methods of Radius-Estimating Techniques for Horizontal CurvesAsma Th. Ibraheem, Fatin JananProblem statement: This study discusses the development of computer software of two phases. First phase contains the calculations of all curve elements of the four types of the horizontal curve and second phase contains the modeling of the ten methods of estimating the radius of the horizontal curve. Approach: The program is named as HCRET, which stands for Horizontal Curves … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 8,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Enhancement of Bayesian Inference Network for Ligand-Based Virtual Screening using Features SelectionAli Ahmed, Ammar Abdo, Naomie SalimProblem statement: Similarity based Virtual Screening (VS) deals with a large amount of data containing irrelevant and/or redundant fragments or features. Recent use of Bayesian network as an alternative for existing tools for similarity based VS has received noticeable attention of the researchers in the field of chemoinformatics. Approach: To this end, different models of Bayesian network have been developed. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecognition of Hand Printed Characters Based on Simple Geometric FeaturesSami M. Halawani, Ibrahim A. AlbidewiProblem statement: The use of computers in information processing technology nowadays is one of the main trends of office automation. For more than four decades, information from the outside world is transferred into computers in a traditional way by keying in these raw data with the help of keyboard. Most of these data are in hand printed form and very … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 30 Nov 2010 · 7,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApproximation of Aggregate Losses Using SimulationMohamed Amraja Mohamed, Ahmad Mahir Razali, Noriszura IsmailProblem statement: The modeling of aggregate losses is one of the main objectives in actuarial theory and practice, especially in the process of making important business decisions regarding various aspects of insurance contracts. The aggregate losses over a fixed time period is often modeled by mixing the distributions of loss frequency and severity, whereby the distribution resulted from this approach … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHandling the Dependence of Claim Severities with Copula ModelsYulia Resti, Noriszura Ismail, Saiful Hafizah JaamanProblem statement: Several studies have been carried out on the modeling of claim severity data in actuarial literature as well as in insurance practice. Since it is well established that the claim cost distributions generally have positive support and are positively skewed, the regression models of Gamma and Lognormal have been used by practitioners for modeling claim severities. However, the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,533 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication of Single Layer SiO2 and Si3N4 as Antireflection Coating on Silicon Solar Cell Using Silvaco SoftwareA. Lennie, H. Abdullah, S. Shaari, K. SopianThe main objectives was to investigate and enhance the short circuit current density, Jsc and also to improve the efficiency of silicon solar cell by fabricating a layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and silicon nitride (Si3N4) coatings on silicon solar cell. This fabrication carried out on high temperature during annealing process from 800-1050°C and variable thickness of antireflection coating (ARC) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,679 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnbalance Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship Problem Reduction in Drug DesignD. Pugazhenthi, S. P. RajagopalanProblem statement: Activities of drug molecules can be predicted by Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) models, which overcome the disadvantage of high cost and long cycle by employing traditional experimental methods. With the fact that number of drug molecules with positive activity is rather fewer than that with negatives, it is important to predict molecular activities considering such an unbalanced … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,707 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDurability Assessment of Cylinder Block for Two Stroke Free Piston Linear Engine using Random LoadingM. M. Rahman, A. K. Ariffin, S. Abdullah et al.This research presents the durability assessment of cylinder block for a two-stroke free piston engine using narrow band approach. The life prediction results are worthy for improving the component design at the very early developing stage. This approach is adequate for periodic loading, however, requires very large time records to accurately describe random loading processes. Fatigue damage in conventionally determined … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Electrical Properties by Texturing Surface on GaAs Solar Cell EfficiencyH. Abdullah, A. Lennie, M. J. Saifuddin, I. AhmadProblem statement: This project discusses on the method to resolve the optical losses problem that have been hindering the totality efficiency of the photovoltaic. Solar cell simulation could be useful for time saving and cost consumption. The Silvaco software is not widely used in designing the 2D solar cell devices because there is lots of 1D, 2D and 3D-simulation beside … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,790 accessesView PDFCite
